THIS INCIDENT HAD HORRIFIED PARENTS CALLING FOR A-P-S TO RECONSIDER THE BUS COMPANY'S CONTRACT. BUT AS ACTION SEVEN NEWS REPORTER REGINA RUIZ EXPLAINS, THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. It was tormenting, somewhere between tormenting and torturing them. TAKE A VERY CLOSE LOOK .... ITS HARD TO MAKE OUT IN THIS SCANNED PICTURE.... BUT, THIS SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT HAS A JACKET OVER HER HEAD ... WHILE SHE RIDES THE SCHOOL BUS. The driver didn't like have the child stare at her so she blindfolded the child to avoid having her look at her which is outrageous. ATTORNEY MARK FINE REPRESENTS TWO SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN THAT WERE BLINDFOLDED... HE SAYS HERRARA BUS COMPANY EMPLOYEES DID THIS TO THE KIDS FOR ABOUT A MONTH. The children's mother found out about the blindfolding after another assistant reported it, the bus driver admitted to the claims and was fired. But, Fine says that's not enough : WHEN HERRERA BUS COMPANY'S CONTRACT WITH APS WAS UP FOR RENEWAL THIS WEEK.... THE MOTHER SPOKE TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.. AND FINE WROTE A LETTER ... PLEADING FOR THE DISTRICT TO RECONSIDER KEEPING HERRERA'S CONTRACT. FINE SAYS THERE ARE ADDITIONAL CASES OF ABUSE TO SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS ON BUSES. BUT, APS RENEWED THE DEAL DESPITE THE CONCERNS. For there to be this many incidences of abuse or neglect on these buses with special needs kids on them, really suggest that it is rampant. NOW, FINE SAYS HE WILL POSSIBLY REQUEST AN INQUIRY INTO HERRERA'S BUS COMPANY FROM THE STATE AUDITOR. RR7N. HERRERA BUS COMPANY WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR COMMENT. BUT, APS SAYS HERRARA HAS TAKEN QUICK AND APPROPRIATE ACTION ON ITS EMPLOYEES... AND THAT'S WHY THEIR CONTRACT WAS EXTENDED.
